How to Remove Yourself as an Admin on Facebook

If you are an admin member of a Facebook page, then you will know that it requires a fair amount of responsibility.

Whether it’s a personal hobbies or interests page, a business page, or something in between the two, admin are often responsible for managing members, removing inflammatory comments, and ensuring that the page and its members adhere to the Facebook community guidelines.

If the pressure gets too much, however, then you may wish to remove yourself as admin. Here’s how to do it…

5 Steps to Remove Your Admin Status on a Facebook Page

1. Head into your Facebook app and navigate to the page that you are admin of
2. Click on the menu button and then select ‘Professional Dashboard’ from the options
3. Scroll down on the Professional Dashboard homepage until you find the ‘Page Access’ button. Click on it
4. In the Page Access menu, you will see all the users who are admin for the page

From here you can select any users who you want to remove from the admin list, including yourself, downgrading the level of control granted to different users. You can also remove admin completely – though there is one catch that you need to be aware of…

What’s the Catch?

It’s important for users to note that every Facebook page needs to have at least one admin member to keep running. If you are the only admin member of a page, you will be unable to remove yourself until you have successfully granted the same level of permission to another user.

For example, it could be an alternative member of the community or a new team member at work who is taking over the business Facebook account. Whatever it is, the only way to free yourself from admin responsibilities is to appoint someone else in your place.
